In 2022, applicants were tasked with creating a Swift Playgrounds app project on the topic of your choice to showcase their passion for coding. Here’s how Gabriela describes her winning submission.

In this project, I wanted to show with my art and my own words, aligned with data from reliable sources, how much having a pet around the house can improve people’s lives in so many aspects: emotionally, physically, socially. I worked with SpriteKit and SwiftUI as frameworks, and vector art. When it comes to the design, it was meant to be comfortable and nostalgic, bringing back childhood memories. I wanted to replicate the colors, traces and framerate from early 90s TV cartoons.
